Pickle is a rental marketplace. We seek to make fashion more affordable, sustainable, and accessible by enabling people to rent clothes directly from one another right in their city. Our unique peer-to-peer model allows Pickle to have the most in-demand fashion out there. And our same-day local courier delivery not only allows our users to find a last minute outfit when they’re “in a Pickle”, but also helps people get access to items at ~80% off the original retail! Check out our app here and our Instagram here!

This role will be pivotal in building features and improving performance in the applications that our customers rely on every day.
